Albert Batyrgaziev and Jono Carroll will be facing off on Friday, July 12 in a fight for the World Boxing Association (WBA) interim super featherweight belt in Serpukhov, Russia.
It will be an important and interesting match for both fighters, as the winner will have the chance to compete for the interim crown and potentially face the current champion, Lamont Roach Jr.
Batyrgaziev, a Tokyo 2020 Olympic featherweight champion (contested in 2021), turned professional four years ago and has had a successful journey in the sport. This fight presents him with an opportunity to showcase his talent in the world of professional boxing.
His opponent, Carroll, is a 32-year-old fighter who defeated Miguel Marriaga last year and has notable victories against fighters like Scott Quigg and Andy Vences. He will be looking to use his experience to defeat the local fighter.
Promotional events leading up to the fight will take place this week, with the weigh-ins scheduled for Thursday. Batyrgaziev boasts a record of 10 wins, 7 by knockout, while Carroll has 24 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, and 7 finishes before the limit.
